1.	Killer Sisters 06:11	lyrics	buy track
Ready to prepare raw meat Did you sharpen the knife It is so sweet This is the last time tyranny is rife O, Killer sisters Eyes wide cut Incest and murders Welcome deadly sluts To your fancy new quarters Don't forget the daughter Her flesh must be softer O, Killer sisters Eyes wide cut Incest and murders Welcome deadly sluts To your fancy new quarters Offence and grievance Made your darkest wills alive You don't need to shrive They don't merit your repentance You'll never see the dawn again, But accept your penance So delightful was their pain Killers sisters Eyes wide cut Incest, murder Deadly sluts Killers sisters Eyes wide cut Incest, murder Deadly sluts Paranoia rides your veins Dementia only remains Slash her thighs, hammer the face Go girls, here comes her last breath Ready to prepare raw meat Did you sharpen the knife It is so sweet This is the last time tyranny is rife Offence and grievance Made your darkest wills alive You failed to restrain You unchained Madness O blessed sisters You show a way to gladness What man would be able to follow your spoor O, muses Let's cure the impure You failed to restrain You unchained Madness O blessed sisters You show a way to gladness
2.	Moon Scavengers 05:28	lyrics	buy track
Scavengers They bit the Earth, they strangled Mother Scavengers From reckless spawns to predators They grew up Drinking from her wounds Enclosing her By millions of chains World Eaters Their first prey is nearly down However They take their time Savoring the taste Of their bleeding toy Like Young sadistic cats they are Predators In springtime of their life Ready to drain The next target’s Blood Blind mowers Reaping the branch they stand on Will fly away the day Their mother-world shall collapse Lords of plundering Now they had finished off the Earth The virgin moon They shall scavenge For illusory wealth Brought to the stars By the vain desire to stain Eternity Valueless mark among Infinity For illusory wealth Brought to the stars Shark-toothed creatures Eating their own flesh Will be swept away the day Some cosmic forces shall throw them out Greedy critters Feeding upon Most sterile Landscapes Scavengers They bit the Earth, they strangled Mother Scavengers From reckless spawns to predators They grew up Drinking from her wounds Enclosing her By millions of chains
3.	The Old Ones 05:32	lyrics	buy track
Mankind always seeks the truth Endlessly questioning (the) meaning of life Science somehow explains the game Beliefs exist to keep us sane Sometimes a lonely man falls into darkness Trying to bind modern and ancient Staring at (the) infinity ‘til madness He finds nothing but this lament We are nothing To the Old Ones We are nothing To the Old Ones There is no God There is no Man We're just a drop In the ocean Stranger to life Stronger than death Through aeons rise Forgotten depths Don't try to explain things you can't understand Stop pretending that's a reason we live There's no truth inside your mind We just are, no scheme behind Sometimes a lonely man falls into darkness Trying to bind modern and ancient Staring at (the) infinity ‘til madness He finds nothing but this lament Nous ne sommes rien Face aux Anciens Nous ne sommes rien Face aux Anciens Mankind always seeks the truth However what we name reality Is nothing but a veil Thin and frail, like human sanity We are nothing To the Old Ones We are nothing To the Old Ones There is no God There is no Man We're just a drop In the ocean Stranger to life Stronger than death Through aeons rise Forgotten depths The Old Ones are here as a reminder You’re but a scream through the Never So stop asking why with your blind eyes Embrace your life before you die The Old Ones
4.	Dying Concrete 05:15	lyrics	buy track
Dying concrete I won't give my life for it I'm not a robot Still, I am programmed to rot Cities burn all around me In flames of corruption Drowning in boiling gold I was raised as a simple brick Among forests of concrete towers I feel like running Amid collapsing mountains Souls and buildings crack Crowds and metals wrack Like tombstones above dust Metropoles sprawl over us Among shadows of concrete towers Rats and rust In our everlasting litters Steel replaced grass Silicon replaces flesh Only ashes will remain And we are all the embers Of this chaos Homelands, reflects of our minds, Decay beyond human reason Our veins drive the poison From our brains to our rinds Dying concrete Shelters are fading We won’t be Unaware anymore Dying… Shelters are fading We won’t be Cagellings anymore Dying concrete I won't give my life for it Dying concrete I'm not a robot Still, I am programmed to fucking rot

about

Once Upon the End Paris, France

Among the silent ruins of the Ancient world, and inspired by used recordings of old, five survivors roam the broken streets to blast and shout the loudest music: a testimony of this last age.
